Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown corporation in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family business later on that year. Currently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to continue this position.
Crown first started with a small clientèle developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing appeal of the TV, Crown moved into the making of antenna rotators. This product was used to enhance TV reception and picture quality. The company's successful move enabled them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide demand for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and restoration of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private market. After numerous successful bids within a brief period of time, the company had built a highly regarded business in this field.
With such versatility and success, Crown was able to expand its production to embrace material handling equipment. Crown began the manufacture of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The company believed the market demanded a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown quickly produced an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its variety of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and presently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by obtaining an Irish manufacturing facility from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation stationed near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive forklift line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing lift trucks across Europe through independent sellers.
Currently, Crown manufactures an enormous fleet of electric lift trucks. The company's dealer network, based in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which offer promotional sales and nationwide advertising support to all of their sellers and sales personnel. Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in numerous disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and offers purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of intercontinental dealers and Crown-owned sellers successfully operate in almost 100 overseas city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that include: New Knoxville; Celina, Ohio; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Ohio; and New Bremen, Ohio. Serving their expanding foreign markets, Crown has production facilities in Sydney, Australia (since 1966); Queretaro, Mexico (since 1973); Roding, Germany (since 1986); and Suzhou, China (since 2006). Crown also owns branch sales and service center operations in over 30 locations in the USA. International branch sales and service center operations include locations in Singapore, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Korea, Malaysia, England, Germany, Belgium and Australia.
Crown has earned a profitable status as a consistent, trustworthy and progressive organization by satisfied clients worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown products continue to attain recognition for top design excellence and innovation. For example, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling professionals. Today, this design has gained general acceptance and earned a Design of the Decade award from the International Design Society of America. Again, more than thirty years later, the 5200S Series Reach Truck is another market first, offering the operator with several comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capacity.
